The following items are positioned in sequence: A source of a beam of natural light of intensity I0, three ideal polarizers A, B, and C; and an observer. Polarizer axis angles are measured clockwise from the vertical, as viewed by the observer
The axis angle of polarizer A is set at 0° (vertical), and the axis angle of polarizer C is set at 50°. Polarizer B is set so that the beam intensity is zero at the observer. What are the two possible axis angle settings (less than 180°) of polarizer B? A) 40° and 90° B) 40° and 130° C) 40° and 140° D) 90° and 130° E) 90° and 140°
A bumper car is moving at constant velocity when another bumper car starts to push on it with a constant force at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to the first car's initial velocity. The second bumper car continues pushing in exactly that direction for some time. What is most likely to happen is that
a. the first car will stop moving. b. the first car will move in the direction of the force. c. the first car's velocity will increase in magnitude but not change direction. d. the first car's velocity will gradually change direction more and more toward that of the force while increasing in magnitude. e. the first car's velocity will gradually change direction more and more toward that of the force while decreasing in magnitude.
